Quote of the month
" Laughter is like changing a baby's diaper. It doesn't permanently solve any problems, but it makes things more acceptable for a while."

A man observed a woman in the grocery store with a three year old girl in her trolley. As they passed the chocolate shelves, the little girl asked for a chocolate and the mother said no. The little girl began to whine and fuss and the mother said quietly, " Now Monica, we just have half the shopping left so don't be upset. It won't take long now."
Soon they came to the cookies and the girl began to cry for the cookies. Again the mother said gently " there, there Monica, don't cry - only two more things to buy and then we can go home."

When they reached the check out stand, the little girl began to cry for toffees and threw a big tantrum upon being refused. The mother patiently said, " Monica, we'll be through this check out soon and you can go home and have a nice nap" The man followed them out to the parking lot and stopped the mother to compliment her. " I couldn't help notice how patient you were with little Monica" he began. Whereupon the mother said " I'm Monica - and this is my daughter Sonia!"
